			My Personal approach on creating a sort of Long War Mod for the Original UFO - Defense.
			I originally created it as a player torture device evilgrin, but it turned out to be a Mod people like to play because of the challenge it offers.
			When designing this Mod, I decided to stick on the core Vanilla Original Game Principles and create basically a Expansion Pack, which
			offers a much better Research Tree, a Economy were you need money desperately, where you will face difficult decisions and set backs during your campaign.
			All this has been enriched with a lot of additional Weapons and Tanks, which all have a unique use case.
			Enemies, which will give a Nightmare during your dreams (at least I hope so, grin).
			Its a LONG war to free earth (ingame time: 14-16 Months). So are you ready for the ride?

	It is aimed at experienced X-Com players, who know the game well and are not afraid of a difficulty higher then Superhuman. The Aliens are more powerful, have more variants and your weapons will slowly become obsolete due to them. Research progress is a must, but comes at costs.
